India vs Australia, 2nd ODI

That is all from all of us here. Do join us for the final ODI which takes place on Sunday at Goa. Until then, this is Sid V signing off with my colleagues. Good night and take care.

Kohli: I was really struggling when I was in the 70s and the 80s. I wanted to bat with Suresh Raina and be there till the end. I was trying to hit the ball too hard at the start, but thanks to Vijay for calming me down and telling me to focus on timing. Someone like Yuvraj batting at the other hand is a welcome sight as he can help with his experience. We just decided to build a long partnership and capitalize on the Batting Powerplay. I have been given a fair chance at number three, the captain has shown immense faith in me and I would love to bat at that number. The dew allowed the ball to come easily onto the bat.

Virat Kohli is the MoM for his outstanding 118 which guided India to victory.

Dhoni: We wanted to get a decent start. Although Dhawan got out, Yuvraj and Kohli shared a decent partnership. During the break in the Aus innings, we wanted to know how much dew was there. I thought that the spinners would get turn, but the wicket was flatter than expected. Cameron White tore us apart at the end, but our batsmen stepped up to the plate. When Yuvi is batting, he is a free scoring stroke maker. Virat has been criticized for not converting his starts into big scores, but he capitalized on this opportunity today. What is important is we have to go out and win the last game on Sunday. We have tried some things today and it has worked out well.

Michael Clarke: I thought we had enough on the board. Cameron White played the best ODI innings that I have seen. The Indians scored freely in the first 15 overs, Kohli scored a century and the Indians were just too good today. Hastings and McKay were good with the ball. We have to rebuild, the boys are excited about the next game and we have some improvements to make in some areas.

Interesting fact: The last seven highest scores of Kohli in ODIs have all resulted in a victory for India.

This has been a brilliant reply from the Indians. Chasing a stiff target of 290, they got off to a disastrous start by losing Dhawan for a second ball duck. However, Virat Kohli changed the entire complexion of the match with a flawless century as he shared two crucial partnerships with Yuvraj and Raina to put India on course for an easy victory. His 118 was complemented by Yuvraj and Raina's swashbuckling fifties. There were some nervous moments for the Indians as Hastings sent back Kohli and Dhoni in the same over. However, Raina steadied the nerves of the dressing room as he struck some big blows, helping India win the match by five wickets and go 1-0 up in this three match series. Stay tuned for the post match presentation.

A daunting task lies ahead for Team India, the players are walking out. Will the dew work in the favour of the Indians? Will the young guns step up to the big occasion? Or will the Australian bowlers come up with a spirited performance and help them win their first game of this tour? Stay tuned as the second half of the match gets underway.

The last 5 overs produced 84 runs as White ran riot. It will be a stiff chase for the Indian side when they come out to bat.

Absolute carnage towards the end has seen Australia score 114 runs off the last 10 overs! Michael Clarke has led from the front to help Australia ease into a commanding position, a total which looked a distant dream when they were 16/2 at one stage. Hussey gave him tremendous support by scoring a timely fifty. The Indians let the pressure slip in the middle overs by conceding easy runs with some sloppy fielding. White helped Australia tee off in style towards the end with some lusty hitting, getting past his fifty in just 38 balls. Remember India are fielding 2 debutants - Dhawan and Tiwary so the pressure would firmly rest on Yuvraj, Raina and Dhoni to deliver. Can they chase this down with ease or will it go down to the wire? Dew may also have a part to play as we progress into the innings. Join us at 6:45 IST for the run-chase.

49.6 Vinay Kumar to White, SIX!!, That is a superb way to end the innings! the most astounding of shots to round off a stellar last 10 overs for Aus! a low full toss is just flicked, I repeat, just flicked and it sails just beyond the ropes at deep mid wicket, Vinay Kumar has been taken to the cleaners here, White has finished it off magnificently well for Aus

A bit of a break as Pup takes some treatment

As soon as White hit that boundary, Clarke is seen cramping up - he is in a lot of strife - immediately calls for the physio. The heat seems to have taken a toll on Pup

44.3 Praveen Kumar to White, FOUR!!, White is a crisp hitter, he timed that superbly well, a low full toss on middle, White makes room and drilled that past extra cover, long off had no chance, that was hit right off the middle of the bat

44.1 Praveen Kumar to Clarke, no run, Clarke moves to leg, Praveen Kumar slants one back in, Clarke was trying to swipe it to the on side, the ball passes between the bat and pad gap, MS prevents the bye

Praveen Kumar [7.0-1-27-0] is back into the attack

43.6 Nehra to White, 2 runs, That was awesome from Raina! a length ball is lofted inside out by White, Raina running to his left from long off, got a hand to that, he was trying to stop the boundary, he put his hand out and in the process the ball hit his palms and landed on the ground, since the pace was taken off the ball, Raina could recover and prevent the boundary, if Raina had taken the catch it would have been a sensational one

43.5 Nehra to Clarke, 1 run, length ball on middle, Clarke backs away and drives it to long off

43.4 Nehra to White, 1 run, in the block-hole, White squeezes it to the right of backward point, easy single this time

43.2 Nehra to Clarke, 1 run, on the pads, Clarke works it to deep square leg

43.1 Nehra to White, 1 run, magnificent effort from the Davanagere Diamonds man! nurdled off his hip by White, it was destined to the fence until the Davanagere man flung to his right and put in a superb dive to cut it off, only a single

42.6 Vinay Kumar to White, 1 run, good over that from Vinay Kumar - just 5 singles coming off it - a full toss is punched to long off

42.4 Vinay Kumar to White, 1 run, fullish on middle, White backs away to drill it to long off

42.3 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, 1 run, slower one on off stump, Clarke moved to off stump, bunted it past a diving Vinay Kumar, it went to Vinay Kumar's right, he could not haul it back in, easy single

42.2 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, no run, The NSW and Victoria combination are not in sync when it comes to running between the wickets and it is showing today! Clarke makes room to drive to Kohli at cover, a slight fumble, lots of confusion, in the end, White sends Clarke back

42.1 Vinay Kumar to White, 1 run, The 100th single of the innings as White leans forward to drive a length ball on the up to long off

The Aussies have taken the power-play. Time for the big shots, get ready folks!

Vinay Kumar [6.0-1-26-0] is back into the attack

41.6 Nehra to Clarke, no run, Clarke makes room and drives it to the left of Raina at cover, Raina covered a lot of ground, dived to get to the ball and caused enough confusion in the batsmen's minds to prevent the single

41.5 Nehra to White, 1 run, slower ball on middle, White shows the full face of the bat and drives it to long off

41.4 Nehra to Clarke, 1 run, uppish but safe, a tame chip from Clarke, he was too early into the stroke, luckily for Clarke it falls just wide of Dhawan at mid wicket

41.2 Nehra to White, 1 run, length ball outside off, White went for the on-the-up cover drive, ends up dragging it to long on, too much bottom hand in that shot from White

41.1 Nehra to White, no run, What is happening out there! a length ball on middle, White defends it back to Nehra, who fumbles, the ball rolls towards mid off, White saw that, wanted the single, Clarke took a few steps, then realised there was no run, came back in time, utter chaos from both the Aussies on that occasion

40.6 Ashwin to White, 1 run, too full outside off, White steers that to point with an open face, the fielder was caught napping, single stolen, MS is not happy with that sloppy piece of fielding

40.5 Ashwin to Clarke, 1 run, the overspinner from Ashwin, bit more flight, Clarke chips down and eases it to long on

40.4 Ashwin to White, 1 run, sharp spin back in to White, White adjusted well, dabbed it in front of him, easy single to short cover

39.5 Nehra to White, 1 run, drops it with soft hands to the off side and pinches a quick single

39.4 Nehra to White, FOUR!!, that has been smacked into the deep extra cover boundary with utter disdain! Too much room from Nehra, free swing of the arms for White as he bludgeoned that into the gap, lovely timing and even better placement

39.3 Nehra to White, no run, length ball angling away, the ball holds onto the deck a touch, White was into the stroke a little too early, inside edges it back to the bowler

37.3 Yuvraj to Clarke, 1 run, chips down the track and works it to deep mid wicket

37.2 Yuvraj to Clarke, 2 runs, excellent use of the feet to get to the pitch of the ball as he strokes it inside-out over cover, Tiwary does well to get to the ball quickly and fire in a flat throw, had he hit at the bowler's end White would have been struggling

37.1 Yuvraj to Clarke, no run, nicely looped into middle, Clarke waits for the ball to angle in and defends

36.3 Ashwin to Michael Hussey, out Lbw!! That is a big wicket for the Indians! It was on the shorter side but it was pushed through quicker, the ball hit the deck on middle and skidded straight on, Michael Hussey shaped for the pull but missed it completely as he was hurried onto the stroke in the end, the ball thudded into the back leg, Michael Hussey knew he was a goner and the umpire didn't take long to raise the dreaded finger, a monumental partnership has been broken by Ashwin! Michael Hussey lbw b Ashwin 69(77) [4s-7]

Ashwin to Michael Hussey, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

36.2 Ashwin to Michael Hussey, no run, steers it to point, looks for the single but he struck that well

35.6 Yuvraj to Clarke, leg byes, 1 run, Clarke is rapped on the pad as he sweeps but the ball was sliding down reckons Bowden, it was a big appeal from Yuvraj but no damage done, Clarke was hurried for pace

35.5 Yuvraj to Clarke, no run, the ball holds onto the surface, Clarke was early into the stroke, checked his punch at the last moment, just short of Yuvraj

35.4 Yuvraj to Clarke, no run, tumbling effort from Yuvraj to stop it off his own bowling

35.2 Yuvraj to Michael Hussey, FOUR!!, what terrific improvisation from Hussey! It was fired in flatter on middle, Michael Hussey got down on his knees and reverse swept that past point, created a lot of power and timing as the bat came down on the ball

35.1 Yuvraj to Michael Hussey, no run, nicely tossed up, slower through the air as well, Michael Hussey steps out and turns it to short mid wicket

34.6 Ashwin to Clarke, 2 runs, the ease with which they are churning the runs is just amazing! Risk free cricket and they pinch another 2 as Clarke works it off his pad into the gap at deep mid wicket, he is using the feet to the spinners with utmost authority

34.2 Ashwin to Michael Hussey, 1 run, tucked wide of square leg

34.1 Ashwin to Michael Hussey, 2 runs, cheeky stuff, changes the bat grip very early and reverse paddles it past short third man, Yuvi does well to get in the slide and stop it from crossing the ropes, they are happy with 2 although there was a chance for the third run

Ravichandran Ashwin [5.0-0-20-0] is back into the attack

33.6 Yuvraj to Clarke, no run, angled into the pads from round the wicket, flicked straight to mid wicket

33.3 Yuvraj to Michael Hussey, 1 run, gets to the pitch of the ball and works it down to long on

32.6 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, 1 run, dabs it to Yuvraj at point and scampers across the turf, a direct hit would have made things interesting

32.5 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, no run, pushed back to the bowler but he was a long way down the track, VK was quick to extend his left hand out, clasps it, turns around to hurl a rocket throw at the batsman's end but the throw was wide of the stumps, great bit of fielding off his own bowling but he may well rue the fact that he didn't hit the stumps direct, opportunity missed for India

32.4 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, no run, leans forward and eases it straight to Yuvraj at point

32.3 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, 2 runs, works it into the gap at deep mid wicket, Ashwin was caught napping in the deep, was late to get off the blocks and Michael Hussey responded very well to his captain's call

32.1 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, no run, nips back into middle, Clarke turns it straight to mid wicket

31.6 Praveen Kumar to Michael Hussey, FOUR!!, that has to be the shot of the match! Nothing wrong with that delivery whatsoever, it was a length ball outside off and the charm was in the timing and placement from Michael Hussey! Just planted his foot forward and stroked that superbly on the up, no chance for Ashwin running around the ropes from long off, even a desperate dive couldn't prevent the boundary. If there are any youngsters watching, that is the definition of an extra cover drive!

31.5 Praveen Kumar to Michael Hussey, 2 runs, too short this time, Michael Hussey picks the length early and pulls him over the infield, didn't get hold of that by any means but the ball was into the gap at deep mid wicket where Tiwary hurls it back

30.2 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, 1 run, punched wide of mid off for a scampered single, Dhawan was quick to get to the ball but Clarke was even quicker

30.1 Vinay Kumar to Clarke, no run, cuts back in sharply from outside off, Clarke plays outside the line and a thin inside edge onto the pad saved him, good start to a new spell from VK

The Indian players are walking out with their glistening new jerseys on. We are underway, lock your seat-belts.

Clarke: The wicket looks good, we are happy to bat first, we need to do what we do our best. It has been a tough Test series, we would like to bounce back in this format. Starc and Hastings make their debut while Bollinger, Ferguson and Warner miss out.

Dhoni: We have left out Ravindra Jadeja, so our part timers should bowl the 10 overs. We have two youngsters making their debut. Dhawan and Tiwary have been given an opportunity. As international cricketers we need to play as many matches as possible, when you go to a venue and if there is no match you do get bored and frustrated. So it is good to see the sun shining out here at Vizag.

India have won the toss and elected to field

The captains are in the middle with the match referee, the toss is underway. New jerseys for Team India.

Australia have left out David Warner, they are going in with Shaun Marsh. Interesting!

Brad Hogg: Cricketers would love these conditions, you have to be hydrated, the players have to keep their energy intact. When a batsman comes in first up, the bowlers have to vary the length, make the batsmen move their feet and test him with short stuff or make him drive. Starc and Hastings are the two new comers in the Aussie side.

Pitch report: Hot and humid conditions says Ravi Shastri, the wicket is flat and this is the first day-nighter at this venue. The previous games played here have been high scoring games, the ball will come on to the bat. The bowlers will have to vary their pace on this wicket. The team that wins the toss may think about fielding considering the fact that there may be some dew later on in the evening.

Weather update: Live pictures show us clear blue skies, it is bright and sunny out there at Vizag.

Hello and welcome one and all. After a washout at Kochi, the action shifts to Visakhapatnam for the 2nd of this 3 match ODI series. It is the battle of relatively two inexperienced sides, with the absence of star players. Will India take the initiative and take the lead in this shortened series or will Australia show us what they are really made of? This is Ajith and I will bring you all the action along with my colleagues Shashank, Sid V and Srivathsa. Stay tuned for the toss and the team updates....

Preview by Saurabh Somani

The wash-out of the first One Day International between India and Australia means that the tour has effectively become a 2-Test and 2-ODI tour - not the ideal format for any kind of tour. However, both India and Australia will have to make the best of conditions as they are. Winning this match, of course, has become vital for both teams.Both sides will have one eye firmly trained on the 2011 World Cup, and both have rested some of their key players so that the ideal combination from amongst the fringe players can be worked out.

The team that wears the India blue on Wednesday will be a very different one than what most fans are used to seeing. Missing in action are Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha and Ishant Sharma. The young Indian team that will take the field thus, will be hampered by a considerable lack of experience. On the other hand, young minds make for free thought, and a more vibrant atmosphere. Getting the mix of youth and experience right will be amongst the top priorities of MS Dhoni and Gary Kirsten.

One man whose inclusion will be keenly watched is Yuvraj Singh. There is no doubting Yuvraj's talent, but there is also no doubting that he hasn't been the best cricketer he could be, with the principal reason behind that being his attitude. If he manages to get his head and form right, he would be an automatic inclusion in most team's starting elevens, and this will be his chance to prove detractors wrong. The long rope that the selectors have given him is already starting to wear thin, as the axing from the Test squad indicated, and that should be motivation enough for Yuvraj to come out firing.

It is also a great opportunity for the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Saurabh Tiwary, Murali Vijay and R Ashwin to stake their claims for a World Cup spot. Tiwary has been part of the squad but not got a game, while Ashwin has impressed in the few opportunities he has had. Amongst the top order, Kohli's stats are the most impressive, and Murali Vijay's Test and T20 form make him a better candidate than Rohit - who has had umpteen opportunities but never quite grabbed them.

The bowling has Nehra and Praveen Kumar as the experienced campaigners. Being the sole spinner in the side, Ashwin is almost certain to play and the third seamer's role will be decided between Munaf Patel and Vinay Kumar. With Dhoni, Raina and Yuvraj also certain to play, there are four slots left with six youngsters - Vijay, Rohit, Kohli, Tiwary, Dhawan and Jadeja - to fill them.

Though Australia are also without some key players, it should be remembered that they thrashed India 4-2 a year ago when they also had a very inexperienced side. In Michael Clarke, Cameron White, Doug Bollinger, Nathan Hauritz and Michael Hussey they have experienced men, while there are exciting youngsters in the form of David Warner, Callum Ferguson and Steven Smith.

Warner and Ferguson in particular, will be the men to watch. While Warner's explosive ability has been well showcased in T20s, he has gone on record saying that he wants to establish himself in other formats, and Ferguson has returned from injury in style. He was particularly impressive in the Champions League, and Australia would do well to play him in both games.

The bowling does look a little thin, with Bollinger appearing to be the only real threat, but it has been shown over the years that the Australians combine well as a unit, and the bowlers, fielders and batsmen complement each other seamlessly.

The weather forecast for the match is for isolated thunderstorms, and the groundsman at Vishakhapatnam has predicted a run-filled pitch. As long as the thunderstorms confine themselves to the field and not the clouds overhead, the fans who ensured that the venue was sold out within half an hour of tickets going on sale, should get a good show.
